agreed, and i generally do like "the plan" and back it wholeheartedly.
I am behind Benning for the most part.

But, to go into the deadline with 10 UFAs/RFA's and result in losing an effective player for free is a downright (frank)ing failure.

This.

He had a chance to set the team up with future assets and failed to do so. A GM's job is to maximize the value of his assets.

Its frustrating.

Someone called it a few months ago, stealth tank. Only pending UFA's that are penciled into the lineup are Vrbata (playing awful), Weber (might be the worst), and Cracknell (off to help Edmonton win some games). I have faith that behind closed doors, Trevor is a little more shrewd than people give him credit for

Oh my god I thought you died

Are you still driving trucks or whatever?

I'm so glad you spelled this properly. So many people type "toe"

Detroit model - park them in the AHL and let them win there. Then they can fight for spots on the roster when they're more than ready. Excited to see Nylander and some of the kids come up tonight.

The Benning Model consists of:
* 4th Line NHL Minutes
* Sitting in the press box

instead of playing in Junior

I know what thats like. I got 2 overnights a week right now and another day is a there-and-back but its a long one.

Luckily today I've been on the phone with IT for almost all of it so its like a free admin day

I'm inferring how I personally feel, i don't presume to be able to talk for anyone else.

I am disappointed.
Some are not surprised.

I am hysterical?
Some are reasonable and rational?

Just flag and ingnore

Next up, Virtanen, McCann, Bo and Hutton demoted to the minors for Utica's run.

Who are you and why are you talking to me?
- Lindenis#1

I'm a guy that could be your friend or not, same with Nucker...your choice, obviously I'm not much of a fan when you only come around to provoke.

I'm not talking about just today, and you know what I mean

Nucker was for a long time one of the most prominent posters on this thread Don, and has been consistent about his feelings for Benning from the beginning. Linden#1 is not Nucker, and is also a long time poster.

The reason they aren't here more often probably has more to do with how they are treated than anything else. I'm not going to say Nucker didn't bring a bunch of it upon himself but i'd like to think we're all adults and can move on.

Even Vantel and I and Booner and Chompsey can be cordial.

Thats not true!!! I'm a female dog all the time!!!

(frank)in' bipolars and emos - please, jump and jump off the highest peak you can find!!!

and today on the hockey front was boring so no need to take it off , so you win in the end

oilers have a trade coming

It really is reassuring to know we have one of the WORST GM's in the NHL.


Still haven't decided who's worse, Rutherford or Benning.

JR hands down. Next PC in Edmonton so far followed by MB in Montreal n Fletcher in Minny. Just my 4 bits.

PC just called his player Gazdic. The guy doesn't know his own players lol

That would by far be the best thing for all four of them.

I don't think it is possible. Hutton and Bo would of had to been sent down at the same time as Cracknell and I'm not sure about Virtannen and JM but believe they also would need to be with their junior team by now to be eligible.
